You can make a streaming website with only 10 dollars. You don't need to host your movies on your server (only if you want to) but like Adrian said, for that you'll need some money to start. You can host the movies on other websites and display the movies to your websites thru iframe. There are lots of website that actually pay you for views if you upload movies on their website. As for script, I had a website with movies on wordpress. If you budget is 10$ and buy a domain name and a hosting and start work.

As for the hosting, like Galleta said, you should go for offshore hosting, just search on google "hosting DMCA ignored" you'll find some hostings in Russia. Why? Because if you go for regular hosting you'll have your website shutdown on first complain.

I consider , I dont want really run it on my own hosting. It would cost pretty much.

So, if go with script - to stream from other websites - will those websites know about what i am doing? Is it normal?

It looks like i am parasiting on them.....

Hey as I said, just analyze your future competition. Kinox (google it) is your biggest competitor. Lets take as Example any series. you can choose from every episode and season and often several languages, with subtitles or without. Depending on your choice, they have often the same file on multiple File hosting services, which are specialized on videos, so they are playing directly on the website. Kinox doesnt host anything themself, and they dont even use iframes anymore.
Most, if not all, of the filehosters are actually launched (and closed regulalry) by kinox themselves, to get their money in a "legal" way. Some of the ex-owners of it were busted by the police time ago, they found several millions cash as well as luxury cars like Ferrari etc with them. Not sure what the final charge was, but for sure Tax Fraud was among it. That was when it became public that they are highly involved with all those video hosting services and even uploading themselves, but doing this allowed them some kind of cover. (the file hosting services operate within the law, but react also to DMCA notices, so they take down the videos, but I bet those people like kinox have scripts that automatically reupload the files in that case and post the new link to kinox website). So in the end its all very hard to proof. And the money they make is just affiliate/marketing money... Even the uploaders (which are just themselves) get money for every view of their videos, as well as the kinox website gets for every view. And the file hosting websites get much money by Pop-unders/popups (many of them), many ads on the sites also often Pay per install, also sometimes from hackers which publish their viruses/trojans through it (maybe also themselves who knows)etc, as well as through premium accounts (for instant streaming or high quality, not having to wait to buffer the videos first).
Anyway after they were busted, some of them who were not caught actually relaunched the site (obviously some say for obvious reasons that they are not related) with, this time, a new, safer hosting company (from russia).

Don't listen to does who say that its "over-saturated" and "its a waste of time". I started my movie site not even a year ago and its doing really well. Great traffic from search engines, lots of traffic from social networks, a whole bunch of backlinks from sites that have added my site to their 'Top Movie Streaming Sites' articles.

Here is what you do (what I did)

1. Get your domain (obvious). I went with something brandable, but its your choice.
2. Find a wordpress theme. There are a lot of wordpress themes out there that are designed specifically for streaming movies. They can fetch every info about a movie with just the IMDb id.
3. Find an host who doesn't care about DMCA. This is where you are going to spend some money. You can start off with cheap shared hosting (I did this) but you're definitely going to need to upgrade.
4. Set up the site. Use Yoast Seo. Have the following pages: Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and a DMCA Notice page where you explain that the movies are hosted on third-party servers, that your site is not affiliated with etc. etc...
5. Start adding movies. You never host the movies on your server, nobody does that. You use video hosts. I recommend Openload. Use at least two different video hosts. A lot of the movie sites out there used to use picasa as a host, but picasa is going away, so they have now figured out a way to host via blogspot (I haven't figured this out yet).
6. How to get the movies? From torrent sites. There are sites out there that let you stream movie torrents online (do a google search). The way they work is that you go to a torrent site and copy the torrent link/magnet url and copy it into the 'site' and it will download the movie to its servers in like a minute depending on how many seeds the torrent has, and lets you watch the movie and also gives a direct download link. You grab that download link paste into the remote upload function of the video host that your using and the movie will be uploaded to your account in a couple minutes.
7. How to Monetize? MGID ads - Ad-center - Propellerads - just a popup, lots of money.
8. How to get traffic? Try not to put ads/popups on your site for the first few months. Instead, contact webmasters and ask them to add your site to their top movie streaming list (I did this). Join facebook groups. Reddit - there are a lot of subreddits for streaming movies online, find them and post your movies. And most importantly, keep adding movies. The more movies you add, the more traffic you get.

The domain has to be fully bulletproofed, not just off-shore. Those people from hollywood etc will do everything they can to take you down and to bust you, doesnt even matter much in which country you are (except russia, malaysia etc) they will just pay your local police much money to bust you.

Your host should not be just DMCA-ignoring, but fully bulletproof, from a country that HATES USA and would never accept any court-order from them (Like Russia). The Domain and the hosting you should do this fully anonymous with non-logging VPN- and proxy-servers! You should even pay those things anonymous either with bitcoin or real faked paypals.

Also this, you have to be extremely careful about your own personal security, as described above. I can only recommend "Perfect Privacy" (google) to use 2 x Cascaded VPN servers from real offshore countries, and then a SSH Socks5 after it. (at the minimum). Dont use countries here like USA, European ones etc (not any country that has deals with USA). Servers can never be logging (very bad).

Well when you are bigger you can launch your own file-hosters, also better for paying taxes then. As described above. Just be here also extrem careful about your security.

And Guerrero, if they did not try to bust or shut you down yet, it is just because you are too little still.
But they will definetly try to get you in the future!
